Due to manufacturing defect, the support wire grid between the inner and outer layers of the fuel injector rubber return pipe may not provide sufficient support, which may cause the pipe to bend and break over time.As a result, fuel could leak into the cold side of the motor compartment and onto the road surface, posing a risk to the following traffic. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/0687/17
The locking ring which retains the fuel delivery module into the fuel tank may not have been correctly assembled onto the fuel tank during the tank assembly process. Leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire. Fuel may also leak onto the road surface which, in the case of diesel fuel, can present a skid hazard to other road users.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/0795/16
In certain diesel engine vehicles, the under-bonnet fuel hoses have been misrouted, causing the nylon fuel hoses to chafe. Diesel fuel may leak onto the exhaust manifold or onto the road surface, which could cause an accident or an under-bonnet fire.
Recall of the product from end users
SR/00298/26
The passenger airbag module may tear during deployment as a result of improper folding during the airbag assembly process. In case the airbag is torn, it will not provide adequate protection to occupants and may increase the risk of injury in a crash. Hot gases could escape, causing burns to occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
SR/01233/26
The deployment of the ammonium nitrate inflator can cause it to burst when there has been a degradation of the propellant. Such a rupture of the inflator can cause metal fragments to be projected at great speed through the airbag into the interior of the vehicle, which can result in serious and even fatal injuries for the occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
